> Hi all: I was just wondering if avoidant personality disorder is just a symptom of anxiety/depression or if it is a disorder in it's own right?
Ah ha! Avoidant Personality Disorder, so that's what I have. I never knew there was a special name for it. I'm not shy, I just don't usually like to be around other people. I'm even good at public speaking.
Sometimes, I think my avoidance comes from being able to see through other people too easily. They can be so petty. Office politics can be especially frustrating and draining. Just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean they're not out to get me. You folks in Babble Land make me feel so normal :-) Thanks!
